I think we've all seen people we know via Social Media go into strange conspiracy wormholes over recent years (especially since COVID). Most seemed like quite normal people until you read the weird ramblings of their minds.
The one thing that seems to be common amongst them is their struggles with normal life and obsession with 'mental health'. Good mental health is important for us all but you'll see these individuals talk about it more than most.
AP seems to slot into this stereotype very well, i ditched the cesspit of twitter/X a couple of years ago but i did follow AP for about an hour, read a couple of his posts and decided not for me. I can't stand reality TV and reading social media posts from people openly struggling with reality, feels like another part of that weird charade.
Always look out for quotes about 'don't be a sheep' etc, for nice early indicators of those struggling.

I think AP, in the main part does a reasonable job of compartmentalising his angling skills and fishing media profile but you don't need to scratch the surface too deep to see his extreme views. Looks like he's very active on Twitter and 'Chem-Trails' is the latest hardcore rabbit hole he's obsessed with.
The majority of conspiracy theorists generally seem to be deadbeats or in menial dead-end jobs but sometimes you get the odd articulate, educated or religious crank trying to ram this sort of tripe down your throat.

Everyone has the right to believe whatever they want.
The problems arise when they want to push their personal opinions or beliefs onto everyone else. People with outlandish beliefs always want to push their views onto everyone else. Be that Jehova Witnesses banging on the front door... People with pink hair marching through London... Or carp anglers on Twitter/Facebook five years after Covid... And anything and everything in between... It's all the same. People can believe whatever nonsense they want to believe. That is their right.
The real question is... Why do these people then want to force their beliefs onto everyone else? Believe whatever you want... Do what you want.... Be whatever or whoever you want to be... But don't try to influence me and everyone else with your personal views about what you believe or want to be. Keep them to yourself.
That's the part that makes these people very unusual. Very obsessive. People are not happy believing what they believe themselves... They then have to try to get everyone else to believe the same stuff as them too. That single act must be like a form of personal validation for them.
Sorry for your loss Kells. That's heartbreaking stuff.

I know one guy who does, it's religious. It's the way he interprets the bible. I agree with you, but i always find it interesting that people will call flat earthers morons, but won't bat an eye lid at peolle who believe the rest of the equally absurd nonsence in the bible.

If you genuinely believe that the earth is flat, you’re a moron. It’s as simple as that.

That incident wasn’t what got him fired from Korda. He stayed years after that. He was fired over a “hot microphone”, and because it was recorded he couldn’t deny it when confronted by Danny and Damian with the evidence.
Flat Earthers are a strange bunch - especially those that use GPS whilst not believing the satellites are in geostationary orbit, or get on planes whose routes would only make sense if the Earth were round

This will probably be my last post on this thread... I'm a subscriber to Adams channel and quite enjoy his content. No denying he's a talented angler. His book is great as well. I can understand the baseball incident that's called passion. Nothing wrong with that
But to come on his Facebook platform and say what he did. There was no need and pretty ill advised.. Facts speak for them self's. There are a lot of people out there still feeling the effects of what happened all them years back.
Adam take a walk along the Southbank opposite Westmister and have a look at all the names scribbled on the wall my Old man's included.. And then come out and say what you did. Some opinions are best kept to yourself..

I know, that's what made me so angry when I saw his post on his FB site so I shared it on here with mostly sensible people rather than his sycophants on his FB page ... the last comment at the end of his post about Nans dying is particularly bad !!

Penning is a ****-wit conspiracy theorist and it seems unfortunately there are many others on here. I'm just amazed how many people parrot that crap when so many of us lost loved ones to covid.

Wife and I went on holiday to Zante in October before covid actually started
We were rough as dogs couldn’t stop coughing loss of taste and smell etc.
Wife was that bad we almost cancelled holiday.

I'm sure he doesn't forget that, I bet he struggles when he thinks how wealthy he could have been ...

I'm so sorry and thankyou for replying, most people fully understand just what was happening but sadly there's a few out there that acted so selfishly and think that to this day they know more than 98 % of Doctors and feel they need to belittle people such as yourself ...

FWIW.... the year before covid, I contracted something very similar to covid and spent 4 weeks on a ventilator. I couldn't avoid what happened to myself, but covid was preventable.
I used to watch Adam and enjoyed his vids and thoughts on carp fishing.
Good angler, poor excuse for a human being. And don't forget the baseball bat incident at a carp show....

I’m really sorry you lost your dad like that,my mom had Covid Christmas time and was really ill with it but not hospitalised fortunately,I think I may have given it to her as I work with a load of people in a warehouse and a lot are in the same thinking about Covid like AP is,we were lucky with her she was in her 80’s and fought it off but she was classed as vulnerable due to her being blind and deaf and having 2 strokes before Covid,me and my brother who I live with done everything we could to protect her as I still had to work as I wasn’t allowed to stay at home to keep her safe,we all had the jabs to try to keep her safe even though they made her and me ill but even now im so glad we did what we did for her.
It’s crazy to think people think it was all a conspiracy when there were people of all ages dying.
My mom passed away in December 2024 and I’m so glad we never lost her through Covid,
I’m sorry if this all seems confusing reading this but I’m still struggling even now with her passing way over a year on.
